By Noel Smith

Deciding to bring a puppy into your family is a commitment that should not be taken lightly. Most dog breeds live between 10 to 15 years. Your puppy will be with you for a lengthy time to come and getting a puppy is not a choice that should be taken lightly.

Locating a reputable and well-respected dog breeder should be one of the initial steps to take when you decide to get a new pet. The top breeders are committed to their breeds and they do everything they can to shun health and behavior tribulations. A good breeder will never deliberately sell you a unhealthy dog.

Since your puppy will grow up you should spend time with some adult dogs from the preferred breed before even looking at the puppies. Talk to breeders, other owners and local dog obedience trainers to get more information.

The people who work at your area pet store or veterinarian's office usually can give you a lot of indispensable information about the breed you are considering. It is nice to know about likely health issues before you see the adorable puppies.

Go to your community pet store or call your veterinarian and find out their opinions of the breed and if they are familiar with any constant wellbeing troubles that show up in that breed. If there are any concerns that you should be aware of it is nice to know before you visit the breeder and see the cute puppies.

Many of the pedigree breeds have a inclination towards inborn wellbeing tribulations such as cleft palate, hip dysplasia, heart problems or blood disorders.

If you want some really valuable and fair-minded information talk with one or more dog obedience instructors. They usually have a wealth of great information that they can give you on the various breeds and what to look for when choosing a puppy.

For numerous years to come your new puppy will with a bit of luck be a much-loved member of your family. You need to amass some sound information and use that to choose your puppy and not just the "puppy love" that we all are inclined to feel around charming little puppies. Every puppy will grow out of that really cute condition and the adult dog is the one who will be your pet for years to come. - 32404
